Hey Builders! The adventure will continue with episode 2 out next week! BUT I could use your ideas about how I can add to the canoe and make it even more wacky, or use it in a wacky way. Any ideas? 🛶

Jacob, your mixture of buoyant over-confidence and gentle self-deprecation together with wonderful storytelling and excellent filming always deliver. I also love how you get in over your head and do it all anyway. Some people are built like this.

BBC give this man his own show! Throughly enjoyable, well edited and amusing, the whole family enjoyed it.

I have now seen it all: Jacob hair drying a canoe; Jacob cooking dinner on his disassembled, slightly damp, canoe (actually, you are preparing dinner on the canoe - the dinner is being cooked on the stove top); Jacob embarrassingly slapping his own butt with a butt strap; and Jacob asking Jacob if he has an itch "down there"...I don't think I will ever be the same. Thanks for your wonderful self-effacing humor - you are the tonic this world needs to maintain its relative sanity. Your video production quality remains excellent, and like a fine wine, gets better with age. Cheers from your second-biggest fan - that's because Ian who lives just down the way is at least half a stone heavier than I am... "I am continuing my naivete when it comes to timekeeping, because whilst the glue is curing, I've decided I need a paddle." Words I have been hoping to hear for years, and from a man who is justifiably pleased and enthralled with his homemade paddle. "My boat floats; the paddle paddles!" Thank you, Jacob, for being your brilliant self!

When I saw few months ago the video about you having a cancer I thought in myself no way "is this guy going to die" my father first showed me your video a year ago and I was stunned about your surviving skills hahah, I am glad that you are alive living your best life man 👍😀💪

Dude,with your personality, you should easily have a million subs!

Very proud wife!! 😍 how you come up with these ideas I still don’t know, but you did it 🎉🎉

What a joy to watch. I was a bit sad when you sold the houseboat; I loved all the work you put into it. This had those vibes, plus Muddy! So happy to see you thriving after your cancer. Can't wait for episode 2.

What a beautifully crafted edited and lovely made film, can't wait for ep 2! Also I want Maddy as my dog!!!

Good to have you back 🤗

Just watching this brings back memories. Can't wait for the next episode.

Another fantastic video

You're back! This is good stuff!

Great adventure so far! Can’t wait to see the rest!

You’re back! Yay!

Brilliant canoe build Jacob. Love your videos. Reminds me of a book I read as a teenager called Rascal, where a kid and his grandfather built a canoe together. Since then I have built a variety of different boats. I might try a canoe like yours next.

I love your videos Jacob, full of humour, insanity yet always success in whatever you do. You must either keep your wife amused or drive her nuts :) but I’m sure I speak for all your followers you bring us such joy thank you x

This was fantastic. I'm so impressed

Your positivity is infectious!!!

oh Jacob! what a disaster although not really 😂 great video!!! can't wait for number 2!!!! :)

So glad you’re back with another wacky adventure! I’m sure you would have finished the build in 4 or 5 (well, maybe 7), days had the weather cooperated. Muddy must give you so my energy!❤

Great job!

It's so great to see you again! Good luck to all of your projects!)

Good to have you back. And, the video was amusing. Debs

great job Jacob! Your dog looks uncannily like my ESS Jed, who's passed...thank you for the memories; he was a nutter too!

So amazing as always!!!

Yay! Great to see you back. Absolutely love your videos!

It's so nice to see a new video from you! Can't wait to see episode 2!

My favorit one balled man upload again !

This is beautiful.

Sorry to hear about it, but glad you're thriving and thank you for sharing this.

You are so hilarious. 😂 Worried about smacking your tail but you always talk about your ball. 👀 Love your cottage, love Muddy beautiful pup; he was like here dad toss this. The canoe looks amazing and so does the adventure. Speaking of your balls thank for speaking out on this so that men everywhere can know it's ok and they aren't the only one. I'm so tired of this secret, taboo, don't talk about things culture. Safe travels ❤

Insane mate! Well done

Love the canoe ❤ keep on paddling 🎉

Interesting. I'm curious as to how it goes after to start the journey down the river. I'm sure that however it goes, you will have fun.

Have you read The Survival of the Birchbark Canoe by John McPhee? A good read

Was it just me that was waiting for you to realise you could not get the canoe out of the back yard 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where'd you find the canoe build info?

Where's Amber?
